Any feedback on the track regards to structure, initial thoughts, overall feel, or how I can improve the track would be great. I haven't finished the mixdown yet.

Hi!
0:00 the intro is kind of boring. I guess you're going to add to that a little bit.
0:30 I like the perc sound, but the snare grates a little bit. Its got nice punch to it, it might just be because its so loud in the mix though.
1:00-2:00 Its very minimal, The structure is good so far. Its a bit hard to feedback because there's not a whole lot going on at this point.
2:15 I feel like a pad or something very faint with a just a little bit of melody to get things going. I know that's probably not what you are going for, but even if its really low in the mix i think it would help.
3:00 As it goes on i am really seeing where the track is coming from. Its got some nice atmosphere to it, but that snare sticks out like a sore thumb IMHO. Also you might want to vary the percussion sounds. Even some subtle modulation on there or something to keep things interesting.

Another suggestion i have is maybe a very long modulated FX sounds (maybe like a minute long rise like you get in tech/mnml house) low in the mix.

There's definitely potential in the track, so don't give up on it, but its not really my kind of music, so musical suggestions i gave you might not exactly fit with what you're trying to achieve.

I really dont enjoy the claps, the intro isnt boring to me just could use some cleaning up. The track itself sounded good to me if it wasnt for those damn claps i would have really liked the song. they stick out like a sore thumb.. And im not talking about how you arranged them i think the sample sounded too much like the stock FL studio claps

about you mix, I think you could lower that bass a bit for getting more air (-3db -4db).

that intro is too short for me you can add one more cycle it will help the whole ambience.

-the voice element can be more present.

-that sound that you use in coordination with the bassline (@0'28) is great I think you can already introduce it before it drops. I think this is the main idea you had to put in front, for exemple when it leave @1'20 it should not disapears like that, maybe a simple delay which come with an automation could be smoother.

-some variation in the space could be really nice too espeacilly for your snare.
-maybe play with the pitch of your bass could be a nice variation, his dynamic also

I agree with Coeptis for that clap

hey man this is nice, nice use of pan also. I'm sure it will sound fuller when you finish your mixdown
